Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Northwind a game like Joy Mech Fight I assume would be easy to translate though. It would be so awesome if all of these great Nintendo games got translations so modern fans can try out the originals

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-will-hold-i... i hope in this Partners Showcase, Nintendo finaly reveal the release date of Doom Eternal for Switch.

@KryptoniteKrunch well when one of the Shareholders of Nintendo asked about the sucessor of Switch, Shiya Takahashi e Shuntaro Furukawa implied there are considering using the Switch format for futures Nintendo consoles.

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-says-its-al... oh so my dream of a live-action or animated movie or TV series for the Legend of Zelda or Metroid franchise can become a reality.

@Slowdive
Probably the most important bit from today in terms of future hardware is page 47 on here:

Basically, they're saying that their main goal is leveraging new technologies that are "best suited to delivering fun". Like the Switch itself which wouldn't have been possible by just re-purposing old tech (which was their strategy with Wii, DS, 3DS and Wii U). But at the same time they want to avoid any potential negatives with adopting new technologies, citing specifically more complicated configurations that might get in the way or undesirable price-points.

Honestly I don't see Nintendo moving away from Tegra in a hurry.....

Well, that basically confirms they are at least investigating things like AI upscaling. It's definitely cutting edge, and it shouldn't increase the strain or cost on either developers or consumers. I'm curious what else they might be looking at too.

did Nintendo have bugdet to hire a actor like Mark Hamill to voice Ganondorf in Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2?

https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-switch-next-console-20x... just we predicted Nintendo is already planing the Switch sucessor, but have refused to give more details how the Switch sucessor is gonna be.

@Giancarlothomaz why Mark Hamill?

I will post it here as well.

My retailer put this on their site for pre-order.

Priced at 40$.

I guess it will be a part of the mini direct.

@jump i think his acting as the Joker will fit his well as the voice actor of Ganondorf in Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2, Mark Hamill know how to voice well a vilain, for Ganondorf in Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2, we need a actor who can give him a very imposing voice.

@Zuljaras i found it a bit strange that remake de Prince of Persia Sand of Times is priced at $40 istead of the $60, of most major games released on Switch, both ports and new games, both first party and third party games on Switch is priced $60, with the excepcions of the Indies games that is priced up to $20

@Giancarlothomaz The 2 Assassins creed games and both Darksiders are priced at 40-45$ here.

If Ganondorf sounded like The Joker, there's no way I could take that seriously. In fact, I'd just not buy it.

Which joker. That's important.

There's a few different Jokers with different voices.

do you think theres a possibility we finally gonna know when Doom Eternal release on Switch?does Bayonetta 3 fit in a Parrtners Showcase?for the proper reveal of Bayonetta 3 in a Partners Showcase, or Nintendo gonna do a shadow drop of Bayonetta 3 and said it release in early 2021?or put the game in a general Nintendo Direct or Mini?

@Eel Heath Ledger Joker. I want to see Ganon slam Link's head on a pencil.

@Eel Cesar Romero Joker so Ganon is going to need his tash hidden by make up.

@Giancarlothomaz

Not true. Pricing for Switch games are all over the place. Whether it's a first party game or third party game is inconsequential. The msrp given to a game is usually indicative of the game's overall budget. Development costs, marketing costs, cartridge size being used, etc.

Not all major releases are $60 and not all indie releases are $20.
